Re: General performance question about pulling off.

Its a 1.6 petrol they are quite under powered. I have a 1.9 diesel for that reason but to be fair its not the best either it that hefty roof, mine is a little better now its mapped but not that much, I think they both are tuned for emissions to make the hemp sandle brigade feel better about the eart...

Re: New owner. What have I done!

Don't feel to bad I work for a VW dealership and we have had an eos in now for 3 months with a roof issue. It came in with a jammed sun roof, pushed back in place and taped up.

Re: Roof beeping

There is a catch above your head where you here clicking from it locks the roof in place sounds to me like it is sticking or dry.

Re: A post and windscreen trim removal

I think the roof side trims have to come off first you know above the side windows I think they just pull off as they are on clips, its a long time now since I took them off to get to my roof locking pipes as they burst where roof pivots that was 4 years ago so can't fully remember.
